Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it's a blend with xanthan gum)
  • 1 cup almond flour can substitute for more gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips (optional) add for extra sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If using chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking!
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, ensure the dough is soft but not overly sticky by adjusting flour as needed. Enjoy them with dairy-free milk or even vegan ice cream for a special treat.
